I have notions about potentially converting the save game from my AAR. It's CK2 v.2.5.2.2 and CK2 Plus v.4.04.7.

My question is: what is the best method to convert this save to EU4 and without issues down the line?

My ideas:
1. Keep save in 2.5.2.2 Convert to EU4 1.17 (not ideal, can't use recent updates).

2. Update CK2 to 2.6.3, update CK2 Plus to 4.05.4, then convert to EU4 1.19

3. I've heard something about manual conversion but have little idea of what that entails.

Any ideas?
 
1. That should work.
2. That won't work, since Plus is not compatible between 4.04 and 4.05. As a rule first two Plus version numbers need to be the same for versions to be compatible.
3. IDK, but it would probably take an insane amount of time.

Thank you for your swift reply.


Just a quick further query. To represent Chalcedonian with Orthodox events, unified by Patriarch of Constantinople, would the following changes work together?

Both taken from the EU4 converter thread.




religion_table.csv

chalcedonian;chalcedonian;1;Chalcedonian

to

chalcedonian;orthodox;0;Chalcedonian



03_ck2plus_converted_religions.txt

chalcedonian = {
color = { 0.9 0.9 0.7}
icon = 45
country = {
defensiveness = 0.1
tolerance_own = 2
tolerance_heretic = -2
}

has_patriarchs = yes
heretic = { CATHOLIC ORTHODOX }

misguided_heretic = yes # Other christians hate them less (?)
}

Ah, thanks anyway.

It might work, it's worth a shot.

FWIW, you can change that stuff after conversion in the created mod file, found in Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II/eu4_export
not 100% sure on the last folder name, but iirc that's it. From there you can just tweak the actual religion file itself.

Tell me how it works, I wouldn't mind importing that if it works well into our own work. I'm never against adding stuff to the converter, I just don't have the time to focus on it anymore :)
 
Very minor spoilers for Millennium's Eve readers follow. Nothing earth-shattering I believe. ;)



In all three of these conversion mods, I chanced updating CK2 to 2.6.3, updating CK2 Plus to 4.05.4, NOT unpausing, then converting to EU4 1.19. That much appears to have worked, though there may be oddities that I have yet to notice in the conversion mods. The files I mention below were edited post-conversion.

My intent is to see if I can replicate the state of a united Chalcedonian Church in EU4, complete with local patriarchs and a Patriarch Supreme based in Byzantine Rome (result of a bug I believe, but I'm fine with it). Ideally with no reform desire, but few if any decisions or events that would incur a reform desire. And no crusade calling ability, being influenced by orthodoxy.

My results so far. Feedback, suggestions, critique are all welcome.


1. Converting Chalcedonian to Catholic

chalcedonian;chalcedonian;1;Chalcedonian

to

chalcedonian;catholic;0;Chalcedonian

2. Converting Chalcedonian as Chalcedonian, plus patriarchs

tolerance_heretic = -2
}

has_patriarchs = yes
heretic = { CATHOLIC ORTHODOX }

misguided_heretic = yes # Other christians hate them less (?)
}
